R + Simmental sale

WELCOME TO OUR 2014 EDITION OF THE ANNUAL R PLUS BULL SALEIt is a real honor to welcome you to the 14th Annual R Plus Brand Sale. We would like to thank all of our previous buyers and future buyers in advance for supporting our program.

We continue to run a large herd of only red and black purebred Simmentals as this allows our total emphasis on one sector of the Simmental breed.

We are continuing to produce bulls using ultra sound data as one of our primary selection tools. These qualities will put you and your program at the forefront of the industry in the years to come. Calving ease, cow efficiency and yield in slaughter cattle are our goals at R Plus.

Once again OBI is helping us with our sale. Rob has become a large part of our program as he is very helpful with our bull selection. We have worked with Rob and his staff since our first sale, and they will be more than happy to help you with any sight unseen purchases.

We are so appreciative of Dallas and Carrie Spencer. They have been working with us over the last four years.

Please make sure you come to the sale on March 2, 2014, whether it’s just to take a look or to make a purchase; we will be more than happy to see you.

Thank you from the R Plus Family!Marlin LeBlanc We Welcome Our U.S. Bull Customers

Both Past and Future.

WELCOME FROM OBIWelcome to the R+ Simmentals Annual Bull Sale where breed improving herdsires are sold each year. As well, commercial operations have grown to expect and appreciate the quality of these solid colored, consistent breeding, long lasting bulls that fit their operations. A follow up with bull buyers shows that R+ sired calves have topped many feeder sales; becoming recognized and in high demand where ever offered.

It is an absolute pleasure working with such a progressive, well grounded, common sense breeder whose pulse is on the everyday cattle industry. Where else does one find this? Far and few between folks. R+ success relies on R+ genetics working for customers; hence the many repeat buyers.

Buying a bull at R+ provides you with the options of getting fresh new genetics as well as time tested proven genetics. This leads us to the cow herd… what a great, consistent group of cows that function extremely well under the management at R+, which is a blend of moderate to demanding nutritional levels. The females are the base of the consistent, uniform product that is offered to you. Superior fertility is highly sought after becoming the key to the herd’s success.

Ultra sound carcass evaluation has become an extremely useful tool. While it offers buyers with more information, the carcass data has become one great tool for the R+ program. With ultrasound, the biggest, best, leanest or even the highest IMF is not always sought after; but the poorest carcass results are genetics that simply will neither be tolerated nor implemented.

The bulls are simply exceptional! Herdsire prospects could well be more plentiful than ever, both black and red. Combine younger, semen tested bulls; managed properly with longevity in mind; and backed by the R+ stamp of satisfaction where else would one try to buy bulls?

Join in with those who have tried R+ genetics and become one of the many satisfied customers. See you sale say, but if you are unable to attend and would like to purchase bulls, please do not hesitate to call either R+ or OBI sales staff.

Rob Holowaychuk, OBI

Carcass Data, Scrotal Measurements and Weights will be available at the sale, and on the web-site at www.cattlemanagement.ca the third week of February

Bull Development: At R Plus, the bulls were weaned the first week in October. They are then started on TMR ground hay and a corn based pellet from Master Feeds. In mid November corn silage is added to the ration and they remain on this ration until delivery. The ration the bulls are on is a TMR (total mixed ration) this means that every mouthful is the same as the last, ensuring no overloading as other feeding styles can allow.The bulls are not creep fed - their mothers and native grass, raise the bulls until weaning .

Delivery: We would like to have the bulls delivered by April 23, 2014.

Edge is a bull we raised, and sold in our 2006 sale to Westway and Lewis farms. He has definitely influenced our program more than any other bull we have ever raised or seen in the breed. He is certainly influencing the Simmental breed through his sons and daughters that are working in several herds. The thing about Edge, is he makes his calves better in consistency, kind and type. Throw aways are few and far between.

A red son of Edge that has become the main stay of our red program. Westway Farms of Didsbury, AB purchased Redge in our 09 sale. We are calving our third set of Redge daughters this spring and will continue to use Redge extensively in our program. We would like to congratulate the Hadways on their continued success with Redge offspring, and what a pleasure it is to partner with such a great family.

145X was the high selling bull in our 2011 sale purchased by Perkin Land and Cattle and Tyler Lyne, Elgin, Manitoba. The Hard Rock calves to date have come extremely easy with loads of performance and style. Several daughters were high sellers in the fall sale run. It has been a real pleasure to be involved with young up and coming breeders like Daryl and Tyler.

A standout since birth – Hard Rock is the great sire we knew he would be. We introduced Tobasco into our herd via A.I. This was a bull that was siring larger rib eyed cattle, the bonus to that is the great females he is giving us. 3011 is in the top 10% for rib eye, top 20% for marbling.

R Plus Philosophy... The breeding of Simmental cattle has been a passion and dream of ours since the 70’s. We made a move in 1991 to change our Simmental cattle into a moderate framed animal that survived well in our climate. The solid colored red and black cattle fit the bill; the performance and fertility of the Simmental cattle could not be compromised, so we began looking for genetics that would support our beliefs.

Present day, our beliefs haven’t changed and we believe the cattle back this up.

We are raising cattle that survive and breed in short native grass pastures, with hay being their main winter ration; cattle that have fertility bred into them, as most of our bulls will be under a year of age at sale time and will have passed a fertility test and scrotal measurement that in the past has averaged around 38 cm. Hair coats are very important to us. Straight heavy haired cattle tend to be easier doing, happier cattle at R Plus. As we live in a short grass area, we have to have cows with large spring of rib. We believe that the rib eye measurement indicates this to us. Structure and conformation have to be closely monitored in our program as a large area of the pastures are located in heavy rock conditions. Our cattle must have the ability to walk in these conditions.

As our operation is usually a two man show, the cow’s ability to have a calf, that calf ’s vigor and the mothering ability of the cow are all things that are very important to us.

We do not believe that overfeeding bulls and females is necessary. Longevity is something that is needed in all cattle and overfeeding only helps to shorten their life span and affects their fertility. Our rations are developed to grow and allow cattle to mature at an optimal rate without causing any complications to that animal.

We have bred these solid red and black coloured cattle for 24 years. The multi generation of the red and black genetics will make your calf crop predictable in colour. By using these solid coloured genetics we have eliminated sun burnt udders, weak eyed cattle and created a trouble free animal.

R+ BULL WARRANTYWe guarantee to provide you with a sound, fertile bull capable of servicing a reasonable number of cows. In the event that your bull is a non-satisfactory breeder, the seller will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for more than the original selling price of any bull or female sold in the sale. The consignor will not provide replacement or credit for physical injury or mismanagement. Therefore we stress the importance of insurance on your bull. An insurance agent will be available on sale day.

R+ 100 PICK OF THE 2013 HEIFER CALVESR Plus pick of the entire 2013 heifer crop. We have decided to offer this as we have not been selling many females in the last few years. Choice must be made by April 1, 2014.

R + Simmental sale

R+ have established themselves as one of the leading Ultrasound Carcass Evaluation Programs in the Simmental Breed. Not only do they evaluate their own bulls for their customers, but they also use carcass evaluation as a selection tool for securing new headline herdsires. Following the R+ example not only helps out R+ but we believe that your program will improve as well. Remember the R+ Brand of Confidence.What is Ultrasound?Ultrasound has become an everyday use of “frequencies” to detect those things that we can not normally see with our naked eye. Example: (Medical World - it is used for a host of functions from detecting bodily problems to detecting the sex of a young couples first new born). In the outside world it is used to detect cracks or possible structural flaws in all types of equipment from bridges to engines. In beef cattle it is used to detect three major components of a live animals carcass composition; that being muscle (meat), fat thickness and IMF (Intra Muscular Fat or Marbling). As well, it is quite commonly used to detect the sex of embryos being carried with an amazingly high degree of accuracy.

When is it used?For any meaningful information it is best done during some relative time period similar to what slaughter ages are to be. The CUP system adjusts the carcass information to one year of age (similar to adjusted yearling weights). This then gives us at least a simple level playing field for making choices or decisions within common groups.

How are the Measurements Expressed?Rib Fat - either in inches .3 inches or in mm’s 8 mmAREA - usually in square inchesIMF or MB - as a % of that area (eg. 4.2 = 4.2%)RP = Retail Product - is a % of a saleable carcass

Why ultrasound, or better yet should we pay attention to this information?Within the seedstock industry it seems like a distant or vague result that holds little real value, but in the commercial cattle world this tool of using ultrasound has become a well documented practice that when used has resulted in a clean, positive, decision making management choice resulting in extra profits of $30 per head and higher. The ultrasound carcass evaluation when used a short time (7 - 10 days) prior to slaughter simply allowed the seller to market on a grid system or not at an optimal time. (This live pre-sort has resulted in an 80% - 95% degree of accuracy following slaughter. The pre slaughter carcass data corresponded to slaughter data with measuring IMF and Fat to this degree of accuracy). As well reportedly we find major players in the North American slaughter industry securing software programs to in fact use this technology for a much more economic decision on their front. “Apparently the information is not as vague as we may believe.”

What is good or what is bad?None of the figures or information is bad - the information should help us identify which animals or groups of animals are superior for different traits, ie the high IMF bulls could be sourced to use on Continental cows who may well have lower IMF tendencies, or, large AREA bulls or sire groups could be used on low yield, easy fleshing British cows whose IMF genetic makeup could already be abundant. Remember Retail Product (RP) takes a combination of this information into account. So is there a right answer?? Not at all, but there certainly is an advantage to you the buyer using this information if the bulls or sires are identified.

The first thing producers want to know about ultrasound is: How accurate is it? The answer to the question depends on who does the actual scanning of the animals and who interprets the images. Ultrasound data on these bulls was collected and analysed by a technician that is certified by AUP and CUP. This means that the technician has met the standards set by many breed associations. The accuracy, although not perfect, is high enough that bulls selected based on ultrasound results in positive genetic change in progeny carcass traits. Heritability for carcass traits are moderate to high, which is slightly higher that birth weights, weaning weights, and yearling weights.

IMF (Inter muscular Fat or Marbling)IMF is the best indication that we have to tell us what kind of eating experience we will have when eating beef. Extensive research shows that average AAA and above marbling produces the most satisfied consumers. As marbling increases so does the juiciness, the flavorfulness, and the tenderness. This may not always be true but for the most part AAA marbling producers more satisfied customers that does A or AA marbling carcasses.

Back Fat (BF mm)Fat depth influences lean meat yield. Fat bulls have less lean meat/muscle in the carcass. The fat measurement also gives an indication of the bulls fleshing ability. Calves from a bull with very little fat may finish too slowly in the feedlot. Body condition score (fat depth) in females is related to their ability to reach puberty at an early age, produce milk, rebreed and maintain a short calving interval. On the other hand, bulls carrying excessive fat may suffer reduced fertility.

Adjusted Ribeye Area (AREA in2)The AREA is the largest muscle in the body at birth so AREA gives an indication of overall carcass muscling (measured in inches) and adjusted to one year of age.

RP (Retail Product/Cutability/% LMY)RP is the percentage lean meat yield in the carcass. Yield grade is an important factor in both Canada and the US. Producing calves with a high genetic potential for this trait can be an important objective of a breeding program. Back fat will reduce yield by 7 to 8 times what REA will increase yield.

Summary Like all traits we should avoid the extremes. Moderation is the key. As producers we need to evaluate our own females and then decide what kind of progeny we want to produce and this should dictate what kind of sire we want to purchase.

Carcass Data, done by Rod Wendorff, Windy Ridge Ultrasounding, will be available

after February 20.
